Notable thing about Paxton, as his campaign pummels Talarico w his woke clips: He doesn’t debate.
Hasn’t faced an opponent onstage since 2014, when he was the non-incumbent conservative choice for the AG primary. Didn’t debate his 2018 Dem opponent who nearly beat him. Ignored George P. Bush who challenged him to five 2022 debates. Never debated Cornyn.

I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

I'm back and I'm once again going to be reminding people that the Trump administration is deliberately letting pedophiles, drug traffickers, and terrorists off the hook in their zeal to go after random migrants instead.
He's making us all less safe.
